The Game's Twitter prank

Rapper The Game faces trouble for his Twitter Prank on Sheriff’s Department.

The Game tweeted that Sheriff’s Department in Compton is calling for an internship, right

The rapper’s followers flooded the Sheriff’s Department in Compton with phone calls after he tweeted the number but told people to call it for an “internship.”

Lines were jammed for about 3 hours with wannabe interns believing they’d reached an office connected to The Game.

When Captain Mike Parker found out the source he tweeted The Game to take down the misleading tweets, pointing out that the large volume of calls were “compromising public safety.”

The Game then removed the prank tweets, but responded by saying, “Yall can track a tweet down but cant solve murders! Dat was an accident but maybe now yall can actually do yall job!!!! #iSpeak4ThePeople.”

The Sheriff’s Department plans to file a complaint with the District Attorney and could possibly file charges against The Game for obstructing officers in the performance of their duties.
